Florida had long been a vacation destination for Kelly Crockett and daughters Sloane and Sophia, so when they decided to build a second home, that’s where they longed to be.
Although they had spent most of their time in Naples, they fell in love with the pristine white sands and sparkling blue water of the seaside community of Alys Beach, which is set, like a precious jewel, on the state’s iconic Highway 30A facing the Gulf of Mexico.
Crockett, whose family also includes two perky Pomeranians named Coco and Theo, was immediately attracted to Alys Beach’s iconic white architecture. “It’s so serene and calming,” she says.
